the incorrect weighted springs will cause the spring to compress more than normal also, causing a spogier ride, and it will affect the handling

i dont think that,,, i have nova 60mm springs on my corsa at the front and the handling is 10 times better dont know if it is new and it hasnt settled but with my spax 40mm the handling was rubbish and as for 60mm its not gone down any lower than it should do. the nova springs i have on are apex and the ones i took off were spax i also noticed that each coil on the apex was thicker than the coils on the spax what would this improve

a few suppliers list the same part numbers for nova/corsa the corsa is heavier theory is correct however the actual difference in the context of the spring is negligible

Rear springs are shorter on a Nove & can fall out the Corsa spring housing
